Baby beat the babyproofing.

Ok so we have been "trapping" DS in the living room since he started crawling at 6 mo. We have a shelf with 8 baskets in it blocking the open area to the kitchen, and a baby gate covering from the shelf to the wall. Well, now DS figured out that he could pull out the baskets and crawl through and today even pulled a top basket and was crawling through that as I was making his bottle! I was so glad I was right there! Whew... Well, the reason we block him out is because we have stairs that go 7 stairs up before there is a place to put a baby gate. NOT SAFE. So, any ideas? Oh yea, DS is now walking and starting to run so he has taken a couple mad dashes to the stairs. (the opening from the kitchen to living room is about 12 feet)

We use those plastic storage bins to block things off. The big ones and theyre full of junk so too heavy for baby to move, also weve never had a bloody lip if they bump their face on it. Hope this helps!!
